Carolyn Cook, MA, LPC

Hi, I’m Carolyn, a licensed professional counselor committed to walking alongside individuals as they navigate life’s challenges. I believe therapy is most effective when built on trust, compassion, and genuine connection. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered to grow.

I’m a native of Southern California and have always loved the sunshine. After earning my Master’s in Counseling from Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis in 2003, I became a Licensed Professional Counselor in 2006. During my ten years at a community outpatient behavioral health clinic in St. Louis, I had the privilege of supporting clients from all walks of life and supervising a team of clinicians. That experience deepened my appreciation for collaborative, compassionate care.

In 2013, my family (husband and 3 kids)  and I relocated to the Madison area. I spent a few years directing children’s ministry at our local church, but my passion for therapy never left. In 2018, I returned to clinical practice and joined Living Well Counseling, where I continue to support clients on their personal paths toward healing and restoration.

I primarily work with individual adults and also support a handful of adolescents who are navigating the unique challenges of this formative stage of life. My therapeutic approach draws from evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Brainspotting, which is a highly effective modality for trauma processing and emotional regulation.

I have experience helping clients work through a wide range of concerns, including life transitions, trauma, infertility, grief, parenting, anxiety, and stress management. Regardless of what brings you to therapy, my approach is grounded in warmth, respect, and a deep belief in your capacity for healing. I would be honored to join you on your journey.
